  • Publication number: 20240420790
    Abstract: Systems and methods include receiving data bits at an input pin of a semiconductor device from a host device. The received data is latched in latch circuitries of the semiconductor device that at least partially implements an equalizer to aid in interpreting the received data bits. A first latched bit latched from the first received bit of the received bits is transmitted from the latch circuitries to self-calibration circuitry. The first received bit is also latched in error evaluation circuitry as a second latched bit. The second latched bit is transmitted from the error evaluation circuitry to the self-calibration circuitry. The self-calibration circuitry determines settings for the equalizer without involving the host device in determining the settings after the host device sends the data bits.

  • Publication number: 20240420789
    Abstract: Systems and methods include self-training an equalizer of a semiconductor device using the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device receives an indication of a condition for re-training of the equalizer. The semiconductor device operates the equalizer based on trained values derived during the self-training. The semiconductor device also determines that the condition has been met, and in response, the semiconductor device re-trains the equalizer without invocation of re-training by a host device coupled to the semiconductor device.

  • Patent number: 9922384
    Abstract: A wireless computerized will call system is provided for filling prescriptions and then locating specific prescriptions that have been filled when the customer arrives to pick up the prescription. The system includes a computer workstation or network, a wireless transmitter, and hanger bags for temporarily storing prescriptions awaiting customer pick up. The hanger bags are equipped with wireless receivers and transducers. When a pharmacy worker commands the computer system to locate a specific prescription, the specific hanger bag containing that prescription receives a wireless signal from the computer system and activates the transducer on the hanger bag to alert the pharmacy worker to the location of the prescription.

  • Patent number: 8590527
    Abstract: A solar collector system includes a plurality of frames. Each frame includes at least a pair of spaced apart side members, a plurality of cross members connected to the side members, the cross members pivotally moveable from a shipping configuration to a deployed configuration wherein in the deployed configuration, each cross member is positioned relative to an adjacent cross member with a predetermined angle, and a plurality of stantions extending from the frames. The solar collector system further includes a plurality of heliostats, each heliostat mounted to one of the stantions, and a plurality of ballasts coupled to the frames, each ballast having a lower surface contacting the ground without substantially penetrating the ground to maintain a position of the frames on the ground.
